7 Wonders of the Ancient World

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: MUMBO JUMBO

September 25, 2007
I am over 50 and have a hard time with puzzle games requiring quick visual recognition of tiny shapes. The colors make this game easier for me to play on the DS, even while in a moving vehicle. This is the first DS game that I've been able to play comfortably in the passenger seat of a car. 7 Wonders is very addictive and my favorite puzzle game. In the evening I will play an easy level to just "unwind" from a bad day at the office. I have completed all levels 3 times and found a couple of them tough but was only frustrated once. I highly recommend this game! However, as my adult daughter said "This is a HUGE time waster."

Transformers - Autobot

I gave this and also the Kung-fu panda cartridge to my 6 years old son.
And this is the one he choose to play all the time on his DS.....
From my point of view, graphics could be little more elaborated and some steps of the game should come followed by instructions (my son took a while to discover how to scan a car until his 3 years older cousin discover how to do it)....
But since my son is playing this one all the time instead of the other (Kung-fu Panda) I would say that's a good entertainment at least for him....

Nintendo DS Lite Adjustable Stylus Pen - Black

Works well, as it is much more comfortable than the standard stylus. Unfortunately they do break rather easily, only had ours a month before they both broke. Maybe if you stuck to gentle games like Sudoku and kept away from action games like Ninja Gaiden then they would last longer.

Spongebob Squarepants: Atlantis Squarepantis

I loved this game but Spongebob and the battle for bikini bottom was seriously better. Don't get me wrong they are basicly the same, but I had more fun on the other game,- battle for bikini bottom.

Harvest Moon DS Cute

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Natsume, Inc.

March 25, 2008
I have never before played Harvest Moon, so I cannot compare it to any of the others.
A friend recommended I try Harvest Moon, so I picked this one because a) it's on DS and b) the main character is a girl.

It is very fun and addicting! I am not even sure what makes it so addicting. I love raising the animals on my farm, and I definitely like flirting with the boys! I'm not sure yet if it has a storyline.. but it does have random events and scenes that are triggered depending on your relationship with certain individuals in the game.

I'd recommend this to older "kids" and little kids too.

I give it an 8/10 because it's a good game, but there's always something better.

SimCity Creator

only been playing it a couple of days. if you've played sim city ds, you'll find this similar, so it helps with the controls. no problem there.
as usual, you worry about population, industry, and food. start out hunting and gathering. then go to the middle ages.
glad i bought it.

Ultimate Puzzle Games: Sudoku Edition for Nintendo DS

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Telegames

August 02, 2007
I agree with all the good things that have already been written about this game. It has the best interface. Everything feels natural and well thought out. If you like Sudoku and want something that you can carry around in your pocket or purse then get this one. You won't regret it.

you may have fun with this but in order to do so you should probably rip the x button off of your ds first. 99.9% of the time it isn't a problem but 1 in every 10,000 times you hit the a button to restart the level (which is a lot because the sequences are like 15 seconds each and they get pretty hard) you will hit the x button(if you have normal sized adult male hands) which is the instant death go to menu erase my progress on my episode button.(because having a button like that is a good idea)

GRID

August 05, 2008
When it comes to street racing games for the DS, you don't have an awful lot of choices. Other than the Need for Speed series, there isn't much that's worth playing on the DS in this department, but thankfully, Grid manages to provide street racing gamers a pretty good time. Offering a decent amount of races, events, and options; Grid mixes elements of arcade racing with simulation as well, providing a pretty good experience. There's a great selection of licensed cars to pick from as well, and despite some occasionally odd graphical hiccups, they all look great for a DS game. In fact, Grid as a whole looks pretty good, with the surrounding areas looking fairly detailed. What really makes Grid worthwhile though is the robust track creator, which ... Read More:
